Watching an Intervention/Obsessed TiVothon with @dbferguson & our cats Lance & Arianna. #
So tired this AM. Stayed up too late watching Planet of the Apes (2001) w/ @dbferguson. Don't want to work today, but I have to. #
Waiting at the station to be picked up by Leon so I don't have to walk in the rain. #
Trying to get billing together for the Nameless Merchant's End of Fiscal Year. The #'s for July look dismally low so far. #
@digsby if it ran on a Mac, you'd have my vote, otherwise Adium gets my vote. in reply to digsby #
Just added it to mine, too. Looking forward to it. RT @dbferguson: @jfritsche That would work for me – I'll put it on my calendar! #
@jfritsche we can show you ours next week Friday when you come over. There are 2 options to connect intake & outflow. in reply to jfritsche #
Crap. Just finished typing a letter, clicked on the Save button, and the software froze up. #
Luckily AutoSave was able to capture about 80% of the letter. #
I'm now firmly convinced that Elias is an idiot. #
Picked the wron person to sit next to on the train: smoker. Someone else was passing gas, too. #
I was told today that the Nameless Merchant is going to have a 4th round of layoffs soon. #
Missed one train by less than a minute, so I have to wait 10 minutes in 90* heat w/ 87% humidity for the next train. #
@giovanni If you start losing followers, it might be due to the inundation of Trapster tweets. Just sayin'. in reply to giovanni #
@TiVoBlog As wife says, "you can have my TiVo when you pry it from my cold, dead hands." in reply to TiVoBlog #
The jackass behind me on the train is blasting crappy hip hop so loud that my iPhone headphones are having a hard time drowning it out. #
@bikehugger I grew up in a tourist area. We would hit the pools at the various motels in the area. in reply to bikehugger #
Me (perusing menu): what ya thinking about? Wife: Twiffy. #
I'm at Angry Dog (2726 Commerce St, Dallas). http://bit.ly/ztaEb #
@TheBloggess There's only one Vietnam. There are, however, two Koreas. in reply to TheBloggess #
Seen on a message board: "I Hate igonorant People/Stupied People" #
The train is now 3 minutes late, and I don't see it being here any time soon. #
WTF? The train just stopped, & another train going the other way also stopped, then the operators switched trains. #
Going to Alliance Airport with Leon to pick up a machine. #
Just wolfed down a 12-piece nugget meal at Chik-fil-a in 15 minutes. #
@Veribatim Glad to be of service. in reply to Veribatim #
I'm at ampm Lounge (300 N. Akard St., Pacific, Dallas). http://bit.ly/dI9oG #

I've peed next to Jason Kidd of the Dallas Mavericks. #lameclaimtofame #
I once asked Don Henley for his ID when he paid by credit card at the music store where I worked. #lameclaimtofame (thanks @dbferguson) #
@jendraknet Yes. Store policy=always ask for ID w/ CC purchase. I didn't recognize him, so I asked out of habit as he handed the CC to me. in reply to jendraknet #
@jendraknet He sighed & pulled out his ID. The CC read "Don Henley, Don Henley Productions". in reply to jendraknet #
The woman in the seat in front of me is reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. #

@ignernt Yes, I'm using WordPress, but I'm hosting through drak.net. in reply to ignernt #

Having dinner w/ @dbferguson at Sweet Tomatoes, partaking of the Tweetup gift from @souplantation. #

Lounging in The Club @ Nokia Theatre w/ @dbferguson prior to the Tori Amos show. http://yfrog.com/3oojxwj #
In our seats awaiting Tori. http://yfrog.com/e76esj #
Opening act is done. People watching while roadies set up for Tori. Very interesting mix of people here. #
Tori Amos is kind of freaky. Talented, no doubt about it, but freaky nonetheless. #
@ToriFan13 not sure what song it was when we left. Not familiar with her work, won the tix. She's talented, just not my thing. in reply to ToriFan13 #
@ToriFan13 the guy in front of me was recording it on his camera. in reply to ToriFan13 #
@Lord_Darkstar I was about to unfollow & block you. Glad you got it fixed. in reply to Lord_Darkstar #
At the Dallas WordPress Meetup at The Art Institute of Dallas #dfwwp #
@ToriFan13 Yes, what I saw/heard I enjoyed. We mainly left early 'cause we're old and it had been a long day. in reply to ToriFan13 #
That's crack & pimp talk. RT @markramsey: Bring on the cocaine and pimp talk! #dfwwp #wcdfw09 #
Audrey is still looking out the window #dfwwp #
It's crack time at #dfwwp! Woopra! #

@CaptShutter it sounds like your wife caught some shit from you for not catching any fish. in reply to CaptShutter #
Pulled staples for an hour: http://twitpic.com/7h4pu #
Back to scanning files. I've noticed that the battery life on my iPhone seems to have taken a hit since it was reset yesterday. #
Overheard at work: "it has a neutral charge." #
It's awfully warm in the copy room. #
I'm breaking a sweat standing still. #
@jendraknet yeah, but it's a dry cool. in reply to jendraknet #
iPhone still has the same WiFi connectivity issue that I reset it for. I hope iPhone 3.0 firmware will fix it. If not, it's warranty time. #
Tired today. It's Christian Bale's fault. Stayed up too late watching Batman Begins on AMC. #
@tombert maybe that's her goal. in reply to tombert #
Still pulling staples & scanning. Should finish it today. #
I am so tired. I guess I can't stay up as late as I used to & still fully function the next day. Getting old sucks. #
Still feel tired. Not a good way to start the day. At least it's not raining. #
@daysies It's one of the controls in iTunes. More iPhone 3.0 tips here: http://tinyurl.com/lkro3b in reply to daysies #
Installing Acrobat Std so I can break apart the files I scanned earlier. #
Got 5 new polo shirts from work today. I was the only one to get all 5 of mine. #
Found out today that the Copy Center made 30% profit in May. #
Had I been there all month, the profit would have only been 25%, all else being equal. #
One of my former employer's biggest accounts is one of my current employer's accounts now. #
Waiting on the 6:35 train. It's hot. Africa hot. #
Just checked. It's 90F. Not quite Africa hot, but close. #
updating to iPhone 3.0. Here's hoping it works. #
@sleepypika considering we lost money each month for the last 5+ months, I'd say it's great. in reply to sleepypika #
YAY!!! 3.0 upgrade was successful! #
So the iPhone 3.0 update didn't fix my WiFi problem, so I'm gonna try to make an appointment to get it replaced. #
Wanna know where I'll be Sat @ 1:30 pm? @ the Knox St. Apple store getting a replacement iPhone. #
Got stuck behind a family that couldn't figure out the ticket machine for the DART train. #
Billing for the copy center has tripled in $ value in 5 days. #
just consolidated the contents of 21 storage boxes down to 1 that we'll keep & 5 that get shredded. #
Let's see how much PDF work I can get done in the next 30 minutes. #
Well, crap. just as I sent that last update, Acrobat froze. #
Was able to extract 333 pages of 625 in 30 minutes. not to bad. Time to head home. #
@swisstoni you might want to do a full restore to the 3.0 firmware as opposed to just a simple upgrade. It's supposed to be faster. in reply to swisstoni #
@daysies & @tombert: there's a difference between your plan & your contract. @dbferguson has a 2G iPhone & is eligible. My 3G is not in reply to daysies #
@daysies yes, each phone is separate depending on when they were upgraded. in reply to daysies #
@daysies don't know about 3G vs. 3GS data plans. in reply to daysies #
@Lord_Darkstar they never claimed that video, voice command & MMS made it unique or were original ideas. in reply to Lord_Darkstar #
Waiting @ a vendor to pick up a good imagePass M2 to swap with the bad one @ the copy center. #
Riding the train home, where redemption (hopefully) awaits. #
@MacTastic we're seeing X-Men: Wolverine. in reply to MacTastic #
Waiting to see X-Men: Wolverine w/ @dbferguson. Dinner @ Texas Roadhouse was great. #
Pre-movie BS has started. #
Movie was good. #
Got up @ 6 to feed Lance, & I see 3 people @ the pool across the street, each w/ their own bottle of champaign. #
I don't think they live there. #
@kissthedog since they're now gone, I'm guessing it was a continuation of the night before. in reply to kissthedog #
@JennywithaY The organizers are considering streaming it live. If they do, once I know the URL I'll share it with you. in reply to JennywithaY #
installing the backup to my warranty replaced iPhone 3G. #
@dbferguson so take off all your clothes… in reply to dbferguson #
well, crap, the replacement phone has 2.2 on it, and needs to be upgraded to 3.0 #
Saw a kid at a bus stop drop his bottle in the sidewalk. His mom picked it up, wiped it on his blanket & handed it to him. #
Setting up my iPhone. Again. #
@bikehugger Gov. Perry of Texas just vetoed a similar law, the bastard. in reply to bikehugger #
@glamtart nice frames in reply to glamtart #
trying to get our all-in-one printer/scanner/copier installed on a computer so @dbferguson can scan a document. 3rd try in progress now. #
@ignernt that looks nice. My HP is decent, but I just discovered that the scanner is fucked up. Wish I hadn't given away my old flatbed. in reply to ignernt #
The scanner part of the all-in-1 is borked. Not sure if it needs cleaning or what the deal is. #
@ignernt I'm wanting to pick up a Canon or HP wireless printer, since we have up to 4 computers that might need to print at any one time. in reply to ignernt #
@ignernt Brawndo, it's what plants crave! It's got electrolytes! in reply to ignernt #
@Lord_Darkstar fucker, now I've got the Mary Jane Girls stuck in my head. in reply to Lord_Darkstar #

Heading off to bed. @dbferguson starts her new job in 8h 45m. Good luck, sweetie. bzzzzz #
This scanner is pissing me off. It lost 200 pages. #
@bikehugger no, but if I were on my laptop & not on my iPhone, I’d bobroll you. in reply to bikehugger #
Just got off the phone with my mother in the hospital. She’ll live. #
I second that. RT @tombert: It’s too early in the morning to be awake. #
So tired today. Got an OK amount of sleep, so I don’t know what’s up. #
In other news, mother’s in hospital w/ mystery ailment, maternal grandma is not doing well, & paternal grandma had a stroke. #
Just found out I spent the last 2 work days scanning files that didn’t need to be scanned. Oh, well. #
I’ve now had a half-liter of Mtn Dew, & I’m still sleepy. WTF is up w/ that? #
Someone in A/R entered a client’s street address as Natural Bridge Caveins Road, instead of Natural Bridge Caverns Road. #
That was a good lunch, even if the break room is noisy. #
Just pulled out 4 staples that were being used to hold 4 sheets of 20# paper together. Can you say overkill? #
I’m really starting to dislike pullin staples. #
@woofytexan set it up via the Apple online first. You won’t need text msgs for push. Only get them if you text a lot. in reply to woofytexan #
About to hit the hot tub with @dbferguson & my boss & her husband. #
back from pool. Boss & her husband are on their way home. @dbferguson is showering to get rid of chlorine. #
I think my iphone is dying. It keeps freezing for no reason. #
WTF is up with this train driver? I can walk faster than this. #
Bastard train operator went so slow that he added 3 minutes to my commute. Also, the woman next to me smelled drunk. #
More scanning today. There are a total of 4 file boxes to be scanned. I can probably do 2/day. I hope to do more. #
@daysies Nilla wafers are great when you dip them in Julie’s Organic Caramel Ice Cream. in reply to daysies #

@jendraknet just saw that Radio Shack has a weather radio for $19.99. in reply to jendraknet #
@Lord_Darkstar I can send/receive email on my iPhone. Surely other 3G phones can do the same. Hell, my 2G Sony Ericsson could do that. in reply to Lord_Darkstar #
Just did billing for the 1st half of June. It’s not looking good. But they do have some large color jobs pending. #
@daysies if you had a C in you last name, you’d have my mom’s name. in reply to daysies #
There’s another progressive dinner Downtown. $65/person (+ tip). Limit 50 people. In the Arts District. We were still hungry after last 1. #

WTF is it with today’s youth? GET OFF MY LAWN! #
There’s another woman with no top on by the pool across the street. But she’s lying face-down & I can see the bikini straps next to her. #
@JennywithaY if she does I’m sure she’ll re-tie her bra straps before doing so. in reply to JennywithaY #
@lnorthrup The next flight out isn’t until tomorrow, and runs $400, so it’s out of the under-$100 budget. Sorry. in reply to lnorthrup #

I’ve finally cooled off from sweating in the warehouse. Not sure what else I’m to be doing all day at work. Boss isn’t here yet. #
It’s actually nice outside (in the shade), it’s just stiflingly hot in the warehouse. Been pulling orders with Shrek. #
Just split the FRONT of my pants while moving boxes at work. Not sure what I’m to do about it. #

@JennywithaY I watched it last weekend, and really enjoyed it. in reply to JennywithaY #

Waiting on the train. Gonna be a hot @ muggy day. Glad I used some Gold Bond this AM. #
Wore my sunglasses out of the house, got to work & realized I forgot my regular glasses at home. #

Wow. I was on hold for 31 minutes, not including the 20+ that prior to being disconnected. #
